About Me

elizabeth is a multi-instrumentalist, singer, and songwriter from the shores of north carolina. she’s been known to enjoy acting, dancing, and choreography too...and, apparently, writing about herself in the 3rd person. some people know her as "beck lewis." if you are one of these persons, PLEASE GET BACK IN TOUCH WITH HER SHE MISSES YOU. she’s pretty dull but hopefully you won’t hold that against her. p.s. none of the rumors are true. well, most of them aren’t.
